[WHACK. Hitting the computer activates the video function. Glaring at the screen is a tan-skinned man with pointed ears, a lovely gin-blossom nose, sunken eyes, and... green hair. And he's already changed out of that weird jumpsuit and into his normal clothes. The top of his orange collar is barely visible over his red cravat.

He narrows his eyes at the screen, then down at the keyboard]

Blasted... typewriter! What kind of contraption is this! Where's the paper?! Cursed LIARS, telling me I could communicate with people using this thing!

[and now he's shaking the computer. Or trying to]

HEY!! TELL ME HOW TO GET BACK, YOU INFERNAL MACHINE!! Put me back on my ship right this instant!

[beknightedheroine]

[chickenofthesea]

[beknightedheroine]

okay then here's how to type like an adult the insta-win road to success as told by sayaka miki:

step i

don't use numbers use like ii iii ix stuff it's fancier

Also the shift key is your friend. There's two of them.

Punctuation helps too.

No spelling errors EVER!

Also never use too many exclamation marks!!!!!

[chickenofthesea]

Oh hey there they are.

But I like exclamation marks!!!!!! they're exciting

[beknightedheroine]

but faces are stupid

[chickenofthesea]

[beknightedheroine]
